HOST: Welcome to our podcast, today we're talking with Dr. Jane Smith, a leading expert in diabetes care and the instructor of the Certified Specialist Programme in Personalized Nutrition for Diabetes. Dr. Smith, can you tell us what inspired you to create this course? GUEST: Absolutely, I've seen many patients struggle with managing their diabetes through proper nutrition. I wanted to create a program that equips healthcare professionals and nutritionists with the skills they need to provide personalized, effective nutrition plans. HOST: That's wonderful. How does this approach differ from traditional methods of diabetes management? GUEST: Traditional methods often provide general dietary recommendations. In this course, we focus on creating individualized plans, taking into account factors like HbA1c levels, medications, and lifestyle. This leads to better patient outcomes and improved quality of life. HOST: Considering the rise in diabetes cases globally, what current industry trends are relevant to this course? GUEST: There's a growing recognition of the importance of personalized nutrition in diabetes management. Also, the use of technology, such as blood glucose monitoring devices and apps, is becoming more widespread, which we cover in the course. HOST: Speaking of challenges, what obstacles have you encountered in teaching this subject or practicing in this field? GUEST: One challenge is keeping up with the latest research and guidelines in diabetes care. Another is helping students grasp complex concepts like carbohydrate counting and the glycemic index. HOST: Indeed, those can be tricky. Now, looking to the future, where do you see the field of diabetes care heading? GUEST: I believe we'll see even more emphasis on personalized nutrition and the use of technology. Additionally, there will be a growing need for healthcare professionals who are competent and confident in managing diabetes through nutrition.
